    You'd love to see her take on the boys. I do just worry that McManus loves winners too much so won't defect. I have taken a little bit of the 50s about the GC though.

      McManus does have Dinoblue who could run in the Mares Chase instead of Impervious and she's very good too. That'll free up Impervious to take on the boys in the Ryanair.

        Spat out my tea when I got my tracker email today. Timeform notes for Brandy Love said "Trainer going well"

          Going against the grain but I’ve thought similar & backed accordingly before his last run. An end to end 2m would be perfect based on his last two runs & ignoring his breeding book.

            Not going against any grain. As every man and his dog keeps telling me on here..... Willie will keep his best Novice Hurdler to 2 miles until they are beaten. Nuff said.

              David Mullins on one of Cheltenham preview circuits called Ballyburn a future gold cup prospect. If that’s how the yard views him you would be leaning trip wise greater than 2m

                I see Tullyhill as better suited to 2m, but even he should prefer a step up.

                Keep in mind we’ve at least 4 well touted French horses kept back for next year, and what ever this years crop brings too.

                I’ve a sneaky suspicion todays runner, Sorrentino, might Chuck his name into the hat for Supremecy too.

                Ballyburn just screams needing further in everything he does.

                At least one of them will likely take the Lawlors route anyway and be campaigned over the mid trip.

                  Absolutely love Echoes. Good festival that to be fair. Even some of the many bumpers. Could chop it down a day or two and make it top class but enjoyed it more than expected
